A nanoparticle-based coronavirusvaccine? That's what scientists are working on, according to theEuropean Medicines Agency this week. Because Covid-19 is not yet behind us, and new waves are expected in the future, as the virus may never disappear. As a result, new vaccines continue to be tested, in an attempt to find the one that will be fully effective. If the one containing nanoparticles were to be validated, it would be the seventh approved in the European Union.
Called Skycovion, this vaccine comes from the German laboratory SK Chemicals, which "submitted data on the capacity of this new vaccine to trigger the production of antibodies against the initial strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19", explains the EMA. In fact, the nanoparticles contain elements of the Spike protein, which enables the virus to penetrate human cells. An adjuvant in the vaccine also boosts the body's immune response at the time of injection.
